We have a full house for the Two-way science workshop run by our Science Pathways for Indigenous Communities program. Talking about language and culture connecting with science and the Australian curriculum. #NATSIEC2018^ELS

This is profound. I’m 40 and have heard abt Emmett Till my WHOLE BLACK LIFE & never once heard that the whistling accusation that lost him his life was due to disability. This hits home. Looking at our history & future w/a disability justice lens is central to our liberation.

Thread below. For those who don’t know, sterilisation of Aboriginal women continued up to 1970’s in Australia. This was to control the ‘problem’ of mixed race children being born as a result of white men raping Aboriginal women. Read the work by Dist Prof Aileen Moreton Robinson.

Awesome!! Congratulations @amymcquire for this major milestone!! I know you smashed that confirmation and will do the same with your PhD!! Looking forward to reading fun hearing more about your work!! #BlackExcellence#Blackademic

The very deadly @amymcquire delivering a most powerful and critical PhD proposal #SpeakingToSilences media representations of violence against Aboriginal women. Very privileged to hear her speak and be part of her intellectual journey in some way ✊🏾

Thalia Anthony speaks of the Royal Commission failure to call for an end practices that cause girls harm & humiliation in #DonDale Instead of calling for the end of strip searches or forcible restraints, they called for them to be conducted more appropriately. #ImaginingAbolition

Miriam Bevis from @NAAJA_NT Kunga Stopping Violence Program for women in Alice who have been imprisoned from violence. These women are victims of violence, often with war-like wounds. They develop “lost stories maps” to help magistrates understand. #ImaginingAbolition

Devastating to hear from @latoya_aroha about the death of her brother Wayne Fella Morrison in custody and the way in which Aboriginal people are held responsible for their own deaths in custody. Talks too of the way Ms Dhu's death is constructed in this way. #imaginingabolition

Vickie Roach telling her story. She recieved her first criminal charge at the age of 2yrs for 'neglecting herself'. Her story demonstrates how the 'child protection' industry and the prison industry is one in the same. A care to prison pipeline #imaginingabolition#sistersinside

“Since the NT Intervention, Aboriginal in prison has tripled every year since it began. Before the Intervention, there were no Aboriginal girls in prison” - Dr Thalia Anthony, What about the Aboriginal girls in Don Dale? Workshop#SistersInside#ImaginingAbolition

If we are talking about research related to issues & practices that impact on Indigenous Peoples without including Indigenous knowledges, Indigenous theories, Indigenous Methodologies, Indigenous methods, Indigenous analysis - then we are doing our people a disservice.

On Bowraville murders case, the government is in the High Court arguing that the law on double jeopardy should be read EXACTLY how I tried to amend it in 2015 and again this year. Why didn’t they support us then and allow all this uncertainty to continue?

From the forced sterilization lawsuits in Saskatchewan to the chilling child removal laws set to pass in NSW today — colonisation & genocide are reproductive & gendered violence. Indigenous feminists are holding the line. We need more feminists to join us, for our sake & yours.

Chelsea Bond giving a brilliant keynote on racism in the Australian health sector and health research agendas ... *And we wonder why the trope of the drunken indigenous person is so pervasive ... you can thank health researchers for that* ⁦@drcbond⁩ #IIRC18

Full house this morning for @DrCBond’s keynote at the @NgaPaeotM 8th International Indigenous Research Conference at @AucklandUni where she’s exploring what it is to be human & healthy & what is human flourishing. #IIRC18
